Shady R&R

I'm winding up--or winding down?-- the Bootylicious Book Tour this week--virtual and real, blogs and brick-and-mortar. A few of you won over the last two weeks-- through the WOW blog tour stops-- free signed copies of SECRET KEEPERS and "seedy character" packages of my favorite seeds. Those will be sent to you this week. Congrats!

And for the Dear Reader Seedy Character contest--I'll be announcing FIVE winners here on July 1, and contacting you each via email. Thank you all for entering...and stay tuned.

I'm grateful to everyone who entered, and/or who read this blog...and I'd like to thank those of you who purchased/read/shared SECRET KEEPERS. [I'd like to thank the Academy, too. Some day.] Thank you!

Okay-- so, deep breath. Ready for a moment of zen? I am.

Our back-yard shade garden: a patch of peacefulness. Think serenity. Think gratitude. And, uh, no shady character jokes...
